NOTES A young (35) partially deaf woman, Carla, works for a property development company. Overworked she eventually gets an assistant. He turns out to be a rather rough 25 year old man, Paul, who has just come out of prison and is on parole. They get involved. She because she's lonely, he because he's desperate and it turns out highly manipulative. He gets her involved in crime.

Quite a good film though one wonders why Carla never goes

out before meeting Paul. And why she is not involved in the

deaf community.

She wears a bulky hearing aid.
